We build biodiesel reactor kettles for producers who need consistent transesterification results batch after batch. This vessel is fabricated from 304 or 316L stainless steel, depending on your feedstock\’s free fatty acid profile and the chemicals you\’re running. For high-acid feedstocks or processes involving salt catalysts, we recommend 316L to avoid pitting and chloride stress corrosion.
The kettle is engineered around the realities of biodiesel production: methanol handling, catalyst mixing, and temperature control. Our standard configuration includes a PLC control panel that manages heating, agitation speed, and process timing. This means you can program a full reaction cycle and maintain repeatability across production runs.
On the mechanical side, we pay close attention to the things that cause downtime in the field. The agitator is selected based on your viscosity and mixing requirements—typically a dual-impeller system for biodiesel to ensure proper dispersion of catalyst into the oil. The shaft seal is a double mechanical seal with a flush plan, which keeps methanol vapors contained and prevents product contamination. Internal surfaces are polished to a 0.4–0.8 μm Ra finish, making cleaning between batches straightforward and reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Heating and cooling are handled through a jacketed design. You can choose electric heating, steam, or thermal oil circulation, depending on what your facility already uses. The jacket also supports cooling after the reaction reaches completion, which shortens cycle times. Working pressure and design temperature are specified at the time of order—this is not something we guess at. If you\’re running a vacuum methanol recovery step, we\’ll size the vessel accordingly with proper vacuum-rated connections and a suitable manway.
We\’ve shipped these units to small biodiesel plants and larger chemical processors alike. The customization options are practical: additional nozzles for sensors, sight glasses, sampling ports, and clean-in-place spray balls. If you need a specific flange standard or a different jacket type, we can work with that.

FAQ
What if I\’m processing waste cooking oil with high FFA?
We\’ll recommend 316L material and a pre-treatment step. The reactor itself can handle the esterification process if you add the right acid catalyst.
Can I use this for methanol recovery under vacuum?
Yes, but we need to know your vacuum level and condenser setup. We\’ll reinforce the vessel and select appropriate gaskets for methanol service.
How do I clean the kettle between batches?
The polished internal surface and optional CIP spray ball make this manageable. For glycerin residue, a hot water or mild caustic wash works well.
When you\’re ready to get a proper quote, send us your process details: the material you\’ll process, its chemical composition, batch volume, operating temperature and pressure, and your mixing requirements. We\’ll confirm the right vessel configuration and give you a straight answer on lead time and pricing.
